 It might still be summer, but we are thinking all things winter and Christmas to prepare for the upcoming holiday season. And some fall quilt shows.

This little cutie features an Andover Christmas line from last season, Retro HoHo . I love that it's more winter than Christmas.

quilted with Dragon's Breath

I kept the quilting more neutral and I think the choice was the perfect one.

I had just enough left of this fun pink fabric for the backing.

I really love these fabrics, they are more seasonal than festive.

And that star fabric for the binding, love!

One done, more to come!

starts

 I say it every summer but mean it more this summer. Where has summer gone? Here we are mid August and I've done zero sewing. Zero. And my summer sewing list wasn't even a hard one.

 I did manage to make this cute baby quilt featuring Riley Blake's Little Things line and some coordinating Dear Stella prints. 

And I whipped up this Grand Beach quilt in a throw size.

We have this kit in a smaller size and it is our most popular quilt kit.

Want one of your own? You can find them here.

And I finally got this quilt finished up. I started this last summer and I didn't like it once I pieced the blocks so it sat for the past year waiting for me to put the top together.

I'll admit I only did so I could clear it off my table and give it away.

And now that it's together, I really, really like it!

quilt monday

 One of my favourite quilt patterns is plus quilts. I've had this pattern for so long that I don't even remember where I downloaded it from.

I originally made this quilt up as a store sample using the Flower Box line by Andover and some coordinating Linen Textures solids. And once I got the quilt top together, I decided to hang onto it for my mom's birthday and gift it to her.

quilted with Paisley Max

I adore how this turned out.

The colours just pop!

As does the quilting.

 Paisley Max is one of my favourite quilting pantos for smaller projects. 

It has a lot of impact.

This fabric line has such pretty prints.

This one if my favourite.

And how about that blue binding? 

It might be my favourite part.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Monday.

quilt shows recap

 Four quilt shows in six weeks is a lot. 

But it was so much fun!

In May we had a booth at the Boundary Bay quilt show and the Langley quilt show. 

We kicked June off with a quilt show in Parksville. It was there first show since 2019 and it  was amazing.

Next up was Quilt Canada in Edmonton Alberta. This was such a great show and it was fantastic to finally meet quilters I've only chatted with online.

And now we can kick back and enjoy summer before our fall shows. 

You'll find us September 28 and 29th in Canmore Alberta, 

October18 and 19th at the Chilliwack Quilt show and lastly,

November 2n and 3rd at the Summerhill Winery for the Kelowna Quilt show.

quilt monday

 Hi!!!

I made this quilt probably close to a year ago to be a sample for kits I wanted to make. And I didn't. Why, I have no idea because the quilt is so, so lovely.

This is the Vintage Lace pattern by Lo & Behold Stitchery.

This is the smallest(baby) size, it measures 48x48.

And it contains 320 2.5inch squares. 

320.

quilted with Paisley Max

I absolutely love how the two colour version is so soft and yet so striking.

I darkened the picture so you can see the piecing better.

I had just enough pieces of this backing to use for backing.

I had just enough of the grey left for the binding. 

And now that it's done, I'm thinking of making this again in the modern version. 

Stay tuned!
